While Bethel publishes program information and materials and assigns advisors, the student is ultimately responsible to assure that he or she has fulfilled all graduation requirements. Bethel reserves the right to withdraw a previously awarded degree if it is subsequently determined that the student did not complete degree requirements.

Bethel University Mission and Values Boldly informed and motivated by the Christian faith, Bethel University educates and energizes women and men for excellence in leadership, scholarship, and service. Bethel is committed to being a world-class Christian university preparing women and men to serve in strategic capacities to renew minds, live out biblical truth, transform culture, and advance the gospel.

We are Christ-followers—orthodox, conversionist, and evangelical; rooted in the authority of Scripture.

We are character-builders—concerned with personal and spiritual formation and therefore committed to the development of whole and holy persons.

We are truth-seekers—recognizing that all truth has its source in God as revealed in creation and Scripture, and personified in Christ.

We are learners—committed to academic excellence within a community characterized by teaching, scholarship, and service.

We are reconcilers—honoring the worth and dignity of people from all races and purposely seeking to create a community that reflects the diversity of the body of Christ.

We are salt and light—relating to the world and society in culturally relevant ways while being informed by our pietistic denominational heritage and characterized by an irenic spirit.

We are world-changers—driven to prepare graduates who will shape and change the world through exemplary leadership in the church and throughout society. College of Adult & Professional Studies and Graduate School Mission The College of Adult & Professional Studies (CAPS) and the Graduate School (GS) strive to meet the unique educational and personal needs of adult students in a supportive Christian environment. The schools offer academic excellence at the undergraduate through graduate levels. They integrate faith and learning and apply theoretical perspectives to contemporary issues, thus empowering students to attain personal, educational, and career objectives, and stimulating them to lifelong learning. College of Adult & Professional Studies Purpose The College of Adult & Professional Studies prepares students for professional service and leadership through quality educational programs that build on the knowledge and competencies students have gained in their life experience.

The adult undergraduate programs at Bethel:

• Develop reflective practitioners by assisting students to apply theoretical perspectives to issues in the discipline. • Encourage students to apply a Christian worldview and ethical principles to professional practice. • Enable students to adopt new techniques and approaches to information management. • Prepare students to apply critical and creative thinking to decision making.

College of Arts & Sciences The College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) is Bethel’s undergraduate college for nearly 3,000 recent high school graduates and transfer students. We take a whole-person approach to education—encouraging each person to achieve academic goals, grow deeper in faith, and engage in a lively community, all with Christ at the center.

Bethel Seminary Bethel Seminary, a school of Bethel University, was founded in 1871. Today, it is one of the largest evangelical institutions in the world offering post- baccalaureate study, serving students from more than 60 denominations on campuses in St. Paul and San Diego and electronically through a variety of online programs. Offering a doctor of ministry degree, eight master’s degrees, and seven certificates, its programs focus on many aspects of ministry preparation, including leadership, marriage and family therapy, and ministry practice. Bethel Seminary is orthodox and evangelical, with roots in pietism, and characterized by an irenic spirit. Our passion is to prepare men and women who will lead with excellence and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ among all people in culturally sensitive ways. Bethel Community Expectations Bethel University is an educational community committed to the integration of evangelical faith with learning. A statement called A Covenant for Life Together has been adopted to help clarify how Christian faith informs and guides the lives and actions of members of the Bethel community. This document interprets the values by which Bethel has chosen to define itself and is intended to facilitate growth, development, and learning. Although some of these values relate to the developmental stages of traditional students and are not necessarily the norm for all Christians, adult students are asked to honor this community statement by abstaining from the use of tobacco, alcohol, and profane language on the campus and at off-campus class sites. A copy of A Covenant for Life Together is available from the Office of the Dean of the College of Adult & Professional Studies/Graduate School. 6 Academic Calendar

Financial Aid Application Procedure 1. Apply for admission to Bethel University College of Adult & Professional Studies (CAPS) or Bethel University Graduate School (GS). 2. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available online at www.fafsa.gov (https://www.fafsa.gov) (use Bethel’s federal school code: 002338). 3. Become familiar with the gift-aid options. Students should bring to our attention any opportunities for which they believe they might be eligible. Financial Aid Programs Visit bethel.edu/adult-undergrad/financial-aid/types (https://www.bethel.edu/adult-undergrad/financial-aid/types) or bethel.edu/graduate/financial- aid/types (https://www.bethel.edu/graduate/financial-aid/types) or contact the Office of Financial Aid for information regarding the availability of scholarships, grants, and loans. Financial Aid Criteria Financial aid is calculated with the assumption that students will progress through the sequence of courses in their chosen majors with their assigned cohort group. Students considering a change in enrollment status are strongly encouraged to contact the Office of Financial Aid, the Bethel Business Office, and the CAPS or GS student success advisor prior to taking any action.

Any federal student loan recipient who graduates, withdraws, transfers to another school, or drops below half-time attendance must complete loan exit counseling. The student will be informed of his or her rights and responsibilities as a borrower, including repayment options for student loans. Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy Please visit bethel.edu/adult-undergrad/financial-aid/eligibility/academic-progress (https://www.bethel.edu/adult-undergrad/financial-aid/eligibility/ academic-progress) or bethel.edu/graduate/financial-aid/eligibility/academic-progress (https://www.bethel.edu/graduate/financial-aid/eligibility/ academic-progress) to review the complete current policy. Process Overview and Responsibilities The Code of Federal Regulations, title 34, section 668.34 requires that an institution establish, publish, and apply reasonable standards for measuring whether a student is maintaining satisfactory progress in his or her course of study in order for the student to receive financial aid under a Title IV program of the Higher Education Act. Minnesota Statute 136A.101 Subd. 10 applies this federal Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) regulation to Minnesota financial aid programs. Bethel University applies this federal SAP regulation to institutionally controlled financial aid programs.

All financial aid recipients must progress at a reasonable rate (make satisfactory progress) toward achieving a certificate or degree. This requirement applies to all terms regardless of whether the student received financial aid. Evaluating Financial Aid SAP Financial aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) evaluation begins six days after the end of each term (fall, spring, and summer) using three benchmarks: Qualitative Measure, Pace, and Maximum Time Frame.

• Qualitative Measure. Undergraduate students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. All undergraduate coursework is considered when calculating the cumulative GPA for undergraduate degrees. At the graduate level, cumulative GPA is calculated separately for Graduate School programs at the doctoral level and Graduate School programs at the master's level. • Pace of Completion. Students must progress through their educational program at a pace that ensures they will complete the program within the maximum time frame. The pace is calculated by dividing the cumulative number of credit hours the student has successfully completed by the cumulative number of credit hours the student has attempted. Students must successfully complete a minimum of 67% of their cumulative attempted credits (including any transfer credits, advanced placement [AP], or College Level Examination Program [CLEP] credit). • Maximum Time Frame. Students are expected to complete their program within the normal time for completion (122 credits for a baccalaureate degree). However, there may be special circumstances such as a program change or an illness that would prevent students from completing their program of study within the normal time frame.

To accommodate these special circumstances, students may continue receiving aid until they either

1. complete graduation requirements for their program of study, or 2. attempt 150% of the number of credits (including transfer credits, advanced placement, or CLEP credits) required for their program of study, or 3. reach the point where they cannot earn the number of credits necessary to complete their program of study within 150% of required credits for the degree, whichever comes first.

Students become ineligible for financial aid at the time that it is determined that they are unable to complete their degree within the maximum time frame. Transfer students who will transfer more than 50% of the credits needed for their program of study should request that only the credits that College of Adult & Professional Studies 17

apply to their program of study are accepted by Bethel to ensure that they do not exceed the maximum time frame prior to completing their program of study, and therefore become ineligible for financial aid.

Program of Study Maximum Time Frame Undergraduate Certificate Varies (150% x ___ credits in certificate) Associate Degree 60 x 1.5 = 90 semester credits Baccalaureate Degree 122 x 1.5 =183 semester credits Treatment of Special Academic Course Situations • Term. The Office of Financial Aid evaluates SAP at the end of each regular semester. All terms of enrollment are counted for SAP, including terms in which a student did not receive financial aid. • Remedial Courses. Remedial courses are treated the same as non-remedial courses in evaluation of quality, pace, and maximum time frame. Foundations for Academic Readiness (FAR) courses are considered remedial courses. • Pass/Fail Courses. Some of Bethel’s courses offer a grade of Satisfactory (S) or Unsatisfactory (U). These courses are not included in the calculation of GPA; they are counted as attempted credits. Courses with an S grade are considered earned credits. Courses with a U grade are not earned credits. • English as a Second Language Courses. Bethel does not offer ESL courses. • Repeated Courses. Courses that a student is repeating are included when determining the student’s enrollment status for Title IV purposes as long as the course is not a result of • more than one repetition of a previously passed course, or • any repetition of a previously passed course due to the student failing other coursework. Repeated courses are always included in the cumulative credits attempted and maximum time frame calculation. They are included in the GPA and cumulative credits earned calculations provided the grade for the repeated courses and the original course are both included in the GPA calculation. • Audited and Enrichment Courses. Courses that are audited or not eligible for academic credit are excluded from SAP calculations since they are ineligible for federal, state, or institutional financial aid programs. • Earned Credits. For purposes of this policy, credits in which the student earns a grade of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, or S are considered earned credits, and are counted as both attempted and earned in the pace calculation. • Transfer Credits. College-level courses taken outside of Bethel before students received their high school diploma or GED (e.g., CLEP, Post- secondary Enrollment Option [PSEO], AP) are treated as transfer credits. (PSEO credits attempted at Bethel are treated the same as other courses taken at Bethel after receiving a high school diploma.) Transfer credits are included as both attempted and completed credits when measuring pace, and are included in the maximum time frame calculation. All transfer credits accepted by Bethel will be used in determining when the maximum time frame requirement has been reached. The student may, however, appeal to have only the credits accepted toward his or her Bethel program of study included in the maximum time frame calculation. • Change of Majors. If a student changes majors, the credits earned under all majors will be included in the calculation of attempted, earned, and maximum time frame credits, as well as the GPA calculation. • Dropping a Course. Courses that the student drops after the 100% refund period are included in the cumulative credits attempted and in the maximum time frame. (If a student fails all courses attempted during the term, the financial aid staff will check to see if the student was enrolled for the entire period or unofficially withdrew from school.) • Incompletes. Courses assigned an incomplete grade are included in the cumulative credits attempted and in the maximum time frame. These credits cannot be counted as earned credits until a satisfactory grade is assigned. • Second Degree. Students may attempt up to 150% of the credits required for a subsequent program of study (183 credits for a baccalaureate degree, plus an additional 183 credits for a second baccalaureate degree). Students who already have a first baccalaureate degree are eligible for loans (not grants) if they are pursuing teacher licensure or a second degree (e.g., a student has a B.A. and is now seeking a B.S.). • Multiple Majors and/or Dual Degree Students. Students who choose to earn more than one major or more than one degree at the same time are subject to the maximum time limits of one degree (e.g., 183 credits for a baccalaureate degree). • Concurrent Enrollment in Bethel’s Schools. Students who are concurrently enrolled in more than one of Bethel’s schools may receive more than one financial aid SAP review each term. Students must be demonstrating SAP in each school they are attending. Failure to demonstrate SAP in any school will affect financial aid eligibility in all schools. For example, if as a result of not demonstrating financial aid SAP in the Graduate School a student’s financial aid eligibility is terminated, the student’s financial aid eligibility is also terminated at Bethel Seminary, the College of Arts & Sciences, and the College of Adult & Professional Studies. • Programs Exempt from Financial Aid SAP Review. Some private educational loans and employer educational benefits are available to students who are not demonstrating SAP. Students should check with their employer or private educational loan provider to see if they must demonstrate SAP as a condition of receiving these funds. Students enrolled solely in academic programs that are excluded from eligibility for federal, state, and Bethel-funded financial aid are not subject to the financial aid SAP policy. 18 Financial Aid

Failure to Meet Minimum SAP Standards Students who are not meeting the minimum SAP standards will be placed on Financial Aid Warning status. Following a warning term, students who are still not meeting the minimum SAP standards become ineligible for financial aid and will have their financial aid eligibility terminated.

• Financial Aid Warning (formerly referred to as Financial Aid Probation). Financial Aid Warning is a status assigned to a student who fails to make financial aid SAP at an institution that evaluates academic progress at the end of each term. The Financial Aid Warning status lasts for one term. If after the Financial Aid Warning term the student is not demonstrating financial aid SAP, the student becomes ineligible for financial aid (i.e., financial aid terminated). • Financial Aid Terminated. Financial Aid Terminated is a status assigned to students who have lost their financial aid eligibility due to failure to demonstrate financial aid SAP. Students whose financial aid eligibility has been terminated may appeal the termination. Appeal of Financial Aid Termination Students who fail to meet financial aid SAP standards and lose financial aid eligibility can appeal this decision. The appeal must be made in writing and should be accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation.

Appeals must be submitted to the Office of Financial Aid within seven calendar days of the date on the notification letter or email. Appeals will be evaluated by a cross-departmental committee. Appeals must explain why the student failed to make SAP, and what has changed to resolve the issue(s) that prevented the student from demonstrating SAP. Acceptable reasons for appeal may include injury or illness of the student, illness or death of an immediate relative of the student, or other extenuating circumstances beyond the student’s control. Students who cannot demonstrate financial aid SAP within one term will be required to submit an Academic Plan as a part of their appeal.

• Financial Aid Probation (formerly referred to as Financial Aid Probation on appeal). Financial Aid Probation is a status assigned to a student who has successfully appealed the termination of financial aid due to failure to demonstrate financial aid SAP. Students on Financial Aid Probation may receive financial aid for one term. • Financial Aid Academic Plan Probation. If it is impossible for the student to meet the minimum SAP standards after one term, then the institution and the student may agree upon an Academic Plan to monitor the student’s academic progress for more than one term. The institution will use the Academic Plan as the benchmark for SAP for the length of time specified in the Academic Plan. Students who fail to fulfill the requirements of the Academic Plan become ineligible for financial aid.

CAPS students and GS students should work with their student success advisors to develop the Academic Plan. Student Notification Students who are not meeting the minimum financial aid SAP standards will be notified by the Office of Financial Aid of their Warning or Termination status. Students who submit an appeal will be notified by the Office of Financial Aid of their Financial Aid Probation, Financial Aid Academic Plan Probation, or Financial Aid Termination status. Students whose financial aid status had been at a Warning, Probation, Academic Plan Probation, or Terminated status, but are meeting minimum SAP standards when reviewed, will be notified of the change in their status.

Students who graduated during the term that is being reviewed for SAP and who are not registered for the subsequent term will not be notified of changes in SAP status. Regaining Eligibility Students whose financial aid was terminated due to lack of SAP may choose to enroll without benefit of financial aid. If the standards are met, financial aid eligibility is restored for subsequent terms of enrollment. Students should consult with a financial aid counselor in the Office of Financial Aid if they have any questions about this policy, the appeal process, or reinstatement of financial aid eligibility. Interpretation and Enforcement The director of financial aid will have primary responsibility for the interpretation and enforcement of this policy. Return of Title IV Funds Policy If a student withdraws or is dismissed from Bethel after a semester has begun, the school or the student may be required to return some of the federal aid funds awarded to the student. This “Return of Title IV Funds” (meaning “federal”) policy is required by federal regulations.

The federal formula requires a return of Title IV aid calculation if the student received federal financial assistance in the form of a Federal Pell Grant, Direct Loan, or Direct PLUS Loan, and withdrew from all classes on or prior to completing 60% of the semester.

A student planning to withdraw must notify the academic services manager and complete the required petition to withdraw before the enrollment deposit will be refunded. Because the institutional refund policy follows a different formula for reducing tuition, a student may still owe money to the school after all calculations are complete. A student considering withdrawal is encouraged to contact the Office of Financial Aid to determine the effect withdrawing would have on financial aid. College of Adult & Professional Studies 19

ACADEMIC INFORMATION College of Adult & Professional Studies Continuing Bethel’s tradition of academic excellence, the College of Adult & Professional Studies offers adults the opportunity to earn an undergraduate degree in a format designed for people already in a career. Courses will be offered when minimum enrollment standards have been met.

Because Bethel values the rich, diverse experience adult students bring to the classroom, students actively participate in the learning process. Performance is evaluated primarily on written assignments, class discussions, projects, and small-group participation. Courses emphasize the application of learning to the professional interests of each student. A Christian worldview is integrated with coursework throughout the program.

The College of Adult & Professional Studies offers the first 45 credits of required general education courses through the General Studies program. Students can earn an associate of arts (A.A.) degree, which requires 60 credits, by completing the 45 credits in the General Studies program and an additional 15 credits of elective courses. An associate of science (A.S.) degree is offered in business and leadership. Bachelor of arts degrees are offered with majors in: Christian ministries, communication studies, human services, and organizational leadership. Bachelor of science degrees are offered with majors in: accounting, business management, finance, management information systems, and nursing. Minors are offered in business management, Christian ministries, Christian thought, communication studies, human services, and organizational leadership. Certificates are offered in addiction studies and human resource management. A license preparation program is offered in alcohol and drug counseling. Detailed information about each degree, minor, certificate, and license prep program—including admission and graduation requirements and course descriptions—is provided in this publication.

The core sequence of each major is structured as a series of courses taken one at a time with classes meeting one evening or Saturday morning each week, or online. A supportive learning community is achieved through the cohort model—a small group of usually no more than 24 students progressing through the program together.

Curriculum The curriculum in the College of Adult & Professional Studies is designed to provide opportunities for adult students to develop the skills and insights to live successfully and to serve effectively in the world. The resulting graduation requirements are not a random sampling of academic fields. Instead, they are focused around themes that form a coherent view of the world, with each course designed to help students develop specific skills applicable to many situations in that world. The general education curriculum, when combined with one of the majors, results in an academic program that is setting the pace for Christian higher education well into the future.

Programs will incorporate six common themes, including:

• Skills, strategies, and plans for self-directed learning. • Critical thinking skills and dispositions. • Ethical principles in areas of study and daily life. • Collaboration, leadership, and communication skills. • Relationships among Christian faith and program areas of study. • Human, social, and environmental relationships in a global and diverse world.

The CAPS Core Distinctives (CORE300, CORE310, and CORE320) are required in residence for a CAPS B.A. degree. CORE300 and either CORE310 or CORE320 are required for a CAPS B.S. degree although taking all three courses is highly recommended. General Education Overview The general studies program in the College of Adult & Professional Studies encompasses the courses that all students are required to take. General education courses are categorized into six goal areas (p. 25) corresponding to the goal areas of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum. However, use of parallel categories is not intended to imply that courses would be accepted in transfer to another school to meet the same goal areas.

Goal Area 1 Communication Goal Area 2 Critical Thinking Goal Area 3 Natural Sciences Goal Area 4 Mathematical/Logical Reasoning Goal Area 5 History and the Social and Behavioral Sciences Goal Area 6 The Humanities and Fine Arts

In each required course under these themes, students work on one or more of the personal capacities, such as mathematics, writing, and speaking. These university-wide requirements, courses in one’s major field, and elective courses that students select constitute the total Bethel academic program and result in a minimum of 60 semester credits for graduation with an associate degree or 122 semester credits for graduation with a baccalaureate degree.

To summarize: Associate of Arts Degree General education and electives 60 semester credit hours Required to Graduate 60 semester credit hours Associate of Science Degree General education and electives 30 semester credit hours Major 30 semester credit hours Required to graduate 60 semester credit hours Baccalaureate Degree Core, General education, and electives 71-89 semester credit hours Major 33-51 semester credit hours Required to graduate 122 semester credit hours

Students may take more than the minimum of 60 or 122 credits required to graduate. Additional elective credits are created when a course satisfies more than one requirement. This does not reduce the total credits required for graduation.

Minors (p. 74): Though not required, many students choose to complete a minor to pursue an area of interest or to complement their baccalaureate major. Students may choose to use their elective credits toward the minor or take additional credits. Students may not earn a minor in a program in College of Adult & Professional Studies 25

which they are earning or have earned a major or certificate except where specifically noted in the Academic Programs and Disciplines section of this catalog. General Education Goal Areas, Categories, and Courses Goal Area 1: Communication COMM160 • Basic Communication Skills

Credit is acceptable from regionally accredited institutions of higher education, nationally accredited institutions of higher education, and comparably accredited international institutions of higher education. Credit from any other institution will be accepted only when there is an officially approved transfer articulation agreement with the institution. College of Adult & Professional Studies 31

Coursework must be designated by the originating institution as freshman-level or higher.

Courses receiving a satisfactory passing grade will be accepted in transfer. With limitations, grades of CR (Credit), P (Pass), and S (Satisfactory) are acceptable. When grades are transcripted as percentages only, grades must be 70% or higher. Students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale on all academic work accepted in transfer. B.S. Nursing applicants must have a GPA of 2.5 or higher.

Courses accepted in transfer must be relevant or equivalent courses required for the student’s program of study. CAPS broadly evaluates the relevancy or equivalency of transfer courses in light of its deep integration of the liberal arts and high quality professional education.

For more information regarding transfer credit policies, contact the academic services manager at 651.635.8033 (800.255.8706, ext. 8033). Transfer Levels When a student is accepted and enrolls as a degree-seeking student in the College of Adult & Professional Studies, a transfer level is assigned and general education requirements are determined and may not be modified thereafter unless at least two years have elapsed during which no courses have been taken at Bethel.

90 credits or more Level 6 60-89.99 credits Level 5 45-59.99 credits Level 4 30-44.99 credits Level 3 15-29.99 credits Level 2 0-14.99 credits Level 1

For transfer levels 4 and up, general education prerequisites are waived. Electives Elective courses (p. 35) are open to College of Adult & Professional Studies students, but may be offered on a different schedule.

NOTE: The College of Adult & Professional Studies courses are not open to students currently enrolled in the College of Arts & Sciences at Bethel University except where specific agreements exist between the deans of both schools.

Elective courses may be taken:

• To fulfill prerequisite or general education requirements. • When students are working toward beginning a degree-completion cohort. • To meet minimum credit requirements for graduation. • To fulfill prerequisites for students working toward admission to a graduate program. • For personal interest or to foster personal growth. Elective Credit Options During the admission process, applicants receive an academic evaluation to help them determine whether they have satisfied the general education portions of their degree programs and how many additional credits they will need to earn for their degrees. The number of total credits needed for graduation is 60 for all associate’s degrees and 122 for all bachelor’s degrees. College of Adult & Professional Studies 33

Applicants who meet all the prerequisite, general education, and Core courses required for admission and graduation will not need to pursue additional elective credit options once they have earned the following number of semester credits outside of the requirements of their major:

Major Semester Credits Accounting 73 Business Management 79 Christian Ministries 83 Finance 73 Human Services 80 Management Information Systems 73 Nursing 89 Organizational Leadership 83

Applicants pursuing elective credit options may do so using any combination of the following options. Option 1 Credit from Bethel University or Other Regionally Accredited Institutions Elective courses (p. 35) offered through the College of Adult & Professional Studies at Bethel University are listed in this catalog in the respective academic disciplines. Students may opt to add a minor (p. 74) to their bachelor’s degree program. A minor is a series of courses, between 18 and 24 credits, in an academic discipline outside of the student’s major.

Credit earned in other Bethel University schools is transferable to CAPS. Students may also request transfer of credit to CAPS by submitting official transcripts from other regionally accredited institutions for evaluation. Option 2 Credit from Nationally Accredited Institutions Students may also request transfer of credit to CAPS by submitting official transcripts from nationally accredited institutions for evaluation. Option 3 Educational Experiences in the Armed Forces Students may receive college credit earned through military training if the American Council on Education (ACE) has recommended credit. A Joint Services Transcript (jst.doded.mil (https://jst.doded.mil)) is required. Option 4 Standardized Subject Examinations Students may earn college credits by successfully passing a standardized exam in content areas for which they have not already earned college credit. CAPS students can earn up to 30 credits through any combination of the AP, CLEP, DSST, Excelsior, and IB exams, which are equivalent to college courses. Official transcripts or official score reports from the examination programs are required for credit awards.

• DSST (http://getcollegecredit.com/test_takers) (DANTES Subject Standardized Tests): For the convenience of students, Bethel offers online DSST examinations several times each month. More than 30 DSST examinations are available on a variety of academic subjects. With a passing score, three semester credits are earned.

• CLEP (https://clep.collegeboard.org) (College-Level Examination Program): Examinations are administered at various testing sites in the Twin Cities. More than 30 CLEP examinations are available on a variety of academic subjects. With a passing score, college credit is earned. CLEP scores are valid for 20 years.

• AP (https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/home) (Advanced Placement), UExcel/ECE (http://www.excelsior.edu/exams) (Excelsior), and IB (http:// www.ibo.org) (Higher Level International Baccalaureate): Students who have passed these exams may earn college credit based on their exam scores. Option 5 Selected Professional Training/Examinations Many career fields offer non-collegiate-sponsored training courses, examinations, or certifications. Students may earn college credit at CAPS for completing non-collegiate-sponsored training that has been recommended for credit by the American Council on Education (ACE). Students may have their training evaluated for potential credit by submitting appropriate documentation to the coordinator for prior learning. 34 Registration Restrictions

Option 6 Documented Experiential Learning Some college-level learning obtained through work or life experience may be demonstrated by the documented experiential learning portfolio process. Based on an evaluation of a portfolio, Bethel University faculty will determine whether credit will be awarded. Students may contact the coordinator for prior learning for the most current information and policies related to the process. An assessment fee is charged based on the number of credits requested, not based on the number of credits awarded. Elective Credit Options Guidelines Credit earned through elective credit options follows the guidelines listed below:

1. Options 1, 2, and 3: Official transcripts will be reviewed to determine the number of credits Bethel will accept. 2. Option 2: Total credit from this option may not exceed 30 semester credits. 3. Option 3: A copy of DD Form 214 or DD Form 295 may be submitted for evaluation only if none of the specified transcripts exist. 4. Option 4: Total credit from this option may not exceed 30 semester credits. 5. Options 5 and 6: Total combined credits from Options 5 and 6 (Documented Prior Learning) may not exceed 30 semester credits. This total includes credit earned from competency-based education (CBE) at other regionally accredited institutions. Credit earned through Options 5 and 6 is identified on the transcript as Prior Learning Assessment Credit. 6. Options 5 and 6: Credit earned through options 5 and 6 is eligible for application toward elective credit or lower level general education requirements only, not to fulfill the requirements of any major, minor, or certificate. 7. Credit is awarded only when the content does not overlap or repeat courses on a student’s transcript. Obtain approval from your Student Success Advisor (SSA) in order to avoid overlap or repetition. 8. All official transcripts for transfer credit and all submissions for prior learning assessment credit must be submitted to the College of Adult & Professional Studies no later than one academic term after the student’s final semester of enrollment. Permission to exceed this time frame is required from your SSA for transfer credit or from the coordinator for prior learning assessment credit. 9. Bethel awards credit for Options 3, 4, and 5 based on recommendations in the Directory of the American Council on Education’s College Credit Recommendation Service (CREDIT) in The Guide to Educational Credit by Examination; The Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Forces; and The National Guide to College Credit for Workforce Training. Credit for Prior and Experiential Learning Bethel University is one of more than 900 American colleges and universities listed in the Directory of the American Council on Education’s College Credit Recommendation Service (CREDIT), a publication of the American Council on Education.

More than 500 accredited institutions or institutionally affiliated individuals are members of the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL), of which Bethel is a member. Bethel follows the national standards established for experiential learning by CAEL.

Calendar and Student Load Bethel University operates on a semester calendar. For students in the degree-completion phase, the calendar of class sessions for the full program is found through Blink (blink.bethel.edu).

Student load for each academic term is:

1. Full time = 12 credits or more per term 2. Part time = fewer than 12 credits a. Half time = 6 –11 credits b. Less than half time = fewer than 6 credits

Applying for an extension or a grade of Incomplete in a course does not extend a student’s enrollment beyond the final date of class. Dropping below full-time or below half-time status may affect the student’s eligibility for certain financial aid programs. If students are working full time, it is not usually recommended that any other courses be taken concurrently with College of Adult & Professional Studies courses. International (F-1) Student Load Under the Code of Federal Regulations [8 C.F.R §214.2 (f)(6)(i)(G)], for F-1 students enrolled in classes for credit or classroom hours, no more than the equivalent of one class or three credits per session, term, semester, trimester, or quarter may be counted toward the full course of study requirement if the class is taken online or through distance education and does not require the student’s physical attendance for classes, examination, or other purposes integral to completion of the class. An online or distance education course is a course that is offered principally through the use of television, audio, or computer transmission including open broadcast, closed circuit, cable, microwave, satellite, audio conferencing, or computer conferencing. If the F-1 student’s course of study is in a language study program, no online or distance education classes may be considered to count toward a student’s full course of study requirement. Summer Session Summer Session counts as a full academic term, along with Fall Semester and Spring Semester, for academic status and grading policies. Some programs require coursework during day or evening hours in the summer months. Consult the cohort course schedule, which shows the calendar of class sessions for the full program. Attendance Policy Class Attendance The model of learning practiced in the College of Adult & Professional Studies and in the Graduate School relies on active, self-directed students who enhance each other’s learning interactively. Students are accountable not only for completing individual work, but also for participating in all interactive learning activities designed by course faculty in the following ways:

• Online interaction as directed by faculty. • Energetic participation in classroom sessions. • Participation in clinicals, field tours, etc.

The attendance and participation policy emphasizes faculty and student responsibility for interactive adult learning in the following ways:

• In course syllabi, faculty will designate the value of participation in interactive learning activities in the classroom, in the field, and online. • Students are responsible to participate in and complete all interactive learning activities and to master their content. • Course syllabi will indicate whether make-up work is or is not appropriate for attendance in the classroom or participation in designated learning activities. • Absence or non-participation due to illness or other emergency may be excused at the discretion of the faculty. • Students should expect that non-participation in interactive activities associated with more than 20% of the schedule of the course will reduce a course grade or risk course failure. • At the discretion of the institution, lack of participation during the first two weeks of a course may result in course registration being dropped; this may affect financial aid award. Multiple instances of course registrations being dropped for non-participation may result in all registration being dropped for the student and an unofficial withdrawal being recorded. Attendance Requirements for Students Auditing a Course Auditing is defined as “observation in the classroom setting.” Auditors are required to meet the attendance and other requirements set by the instructor. Auditors who do not meet the attendance and other requirements will be graded WZ. Participation for auditors beyond attendance in class College of Adult & Professional Studies 41

activities is at the instructor’s discretion. A student may change to or from audit status with the instructor’s approval only during the first 60% of the course. Prerequisites and Corequisites Program prerequisites are listed with each major’s admission requirements.

Course prerequisites are listed with each course description. A course’s prerequisite(s) usually must be completed prior to the course. If a prerequisite can be completed concurrently, this will be stated in the course description.

Course corequisites are listed with each course description. A course with a corequisite requires concurrent registration with the corequisite. Changes in Registration 1. Students needing to add, drop, or change course registration may do so through Blink (Student Academics tab > Registration Tools channel > Add or Drop Classes). Drop classes through the Action menu above the course listing. Add classes through the Add Classes Worksheet (use Class Search to find course registration numbers). Contact student success for further assistance. 2. The student is responsible for all charges incurred (see: Tuition and Financial Aid) and for any loss of financial aid or change of loan deferment status. 3. A new course may not be added when a registration hold has been placed by the Business Office. 4. Regulations for dropping a course are explained in this catalog (see: Grading System—Grade of (p. 42)W). 5. No change of registration is complete until the change is displayed through Blink or a petition form has been properly completed and filed with academic services. 42 Grading System

Grading System

Coursework is evaluated on the following scale:

Grade Definition Grade Points A Exceptional 4.0 A- 3.7 B+ 3.3 B Good 3.0 B- 2.7 C+ 2.3 C Satisfactory 2.0 C- 1.7 D+ 1.3 D Minimally Acceptable 1.0 F Failing 0.0 AU Audit NA CR Credit NA I Incomplete NA In Process IP NA N No Grading NA NR Not Reported NA S Satisfactory NA U Unsatisfactory NA W Withdrawal NA WZ Audit Withdrawal NA

An instructor has the option of affixing a minus to the grade of A, a plus or a minus to the grades of B and C, and a plus to the grade of D. A plus increases the number of grade points awarded by 0.3, and a minus decreases the number of grade points awarded by 0.3.

All grades are considered final and are not subject to change except for errors in calculation, or as a result of a formal grade appeal process. Contact your SSA for this procedure. The I is changed when work is completed or the deadline has been reached (see: Grade of I).

The GPA is determined by dividing the number of grade points by the number of credits the student has attempted. Courses with the following grades are not included in the GPA calculation: AU, CR, I, IP, N, NR, S, U, W, and WZ. When a course is repeated only the last attempt is used in computing the GPA unless the course is designated as repeatable.

The GPA is calculated only on the basis of credits attempted at Bethel. In order to receive a baccalaureate degree, the student shall have earned at least a 2.0 overall GPA and a 2.25 GPA in the major. Grade of AU The grade AU is given when the student audits the course. Students wishing to audit a course must secure the consent of their student success advisor and the course instructor at the beginning of the term for such enrollment status. Not all courses are available to audit. Auditing at Bethel is defined as observation in the classroom setting. Auditors are required to meet the attendance requirements set by the instructor. Students who do not meet the attendance requirements will be graded W. Participation beyond attendance in class activities is at the instructor’s option. A student may change to or from audit status with the instructor’s approval only during the first 60% of the course. Grade of CR The grade CR is used for coursework that is excluded from GPA calculations. Grade of I The grade I is given when a student is unable to complete the course requirements in the regular time due to extenuating circumstances beyond the student’s control. The incomplete must be negotiated with and approved by the instructor before a grade of I will be allowed. Remaining work must be of the kind that can be done largely through independent effort. Unless the grade of I is removed by the deadline designated by the instructor, the student will be graded for the course using the default grade designated by the instructor. College of Adult & Professional Studies 43

The maximum deadline the instructor may assign for the removal of the I grade is six weeks. Students with multiple grades of I may be required to withdraw from their original cohorts and finish their program with another cohort after all grades of I have been resolved.

Incompletes in practicums may be handled differently. The following courses have a one year maximum extension:

CHMN491 Ministry Practicum 3 HUSE481 Internship in Addictions Counseling I 3 HUSE482 Internship in Addictions Counseling III 1-3 HUSE491 Internship in Addictions Counseling II 3 Grades of IP, N, and NR The grades IP, N, and NR are generated for administrative use only. Grades of S and U The S/U grading option is used in designated courses as indicated in the course description. Other courses are graded on an A–F basis. A student may count no more than 12 credits of S/U graded courses toward graduation requirements. The S grade indicates achievement equivalent to at least a grade of D. Grade of W The grade W is given only to a student who officially withdraws from a course by the week of the 60% point of the course. Course withdrawals are official on the date the request is received by the student success advisor. Students may withdraw from a course (or change from credit to audit) until the week when 60% of the course has been completed. Any student dropping a course after that time will receive the grade they have earned to that point. If no grade is indicated by the instructor, a grade of F will be assumed. Extenuating circumstances that may warrant exception to the withdrawal policy will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the Appeals Committee. Note that scheduled online sessions count as “class sessions” when determining refunds and grades. Any refund due to withdrawal will be governed by the refund policy (see: Finances (p. 12)). Transcripts Transcripts are available showing all academic work done to date at Bethel University. Both electronic and paper versions of transcripts are available. Electronic transcripts start at $6 and are processed within 2–3 business days. Paper transcript costs vary and are processed within 5 business days (plus mail time). Questions regarding transcripts should be addressed to the Office of the University Registrar.

Please note: transcripts will only be sent if all outstanding financial obligations have been met. Degree Honors Institutional honors are granted at degree conferral for bachelor’s degrees where the student has achieved a Bethel Undergraduate GPA of 3.9 or higher. Commencement Ceremony Honors Honors in the commencement program and ceremony for bachelor’s degrees will be recognized for students who have achieved a cumulative Bethel undergraduate GPA of 3.9 or higher as of March 31 for the spring ceremony and as of October 31 for the fall ceremony. Honor Societies The following academic society has been approved to award honors cords to graduates to wear in the commencement ceremony:

• Sigma Theta Tau International, Honor Society of Nursing Graduates requesting to wear honors cords from societies that are NOT on the approved list must submit requests by March 1 or October 1 for the spring and fall ceremonies respectively. The graduate will be informed of the decision (approved or denied), and approved societies will be listed in future catalogs. 44 Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal

Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal 1. Academic Warning Students may be given an academic warning any time their cumulative GPA is below 2.0 overall and/or below 2.25 in their major. Academic warnings are advisory and are not recorded on the transcript. 2. Academic Probation Students are placed on academic probation when they are not in good academic standing at the end of an academic term as defined below:

Cumulative Semester Credit Hours Minimum Cumulative GPA for Good Standing 0-29.99 1.65 30-59.99 1.85 60-74.99 1.95 75 or more 2.0

A student may not remain in the program on academic probation for more than two consecutive academic terms. 3. Academic Dismissal The following students will be subject to academic dismissal:

• Students who have not achieved the minimum GPA for good standing after two consecutive academic terms of academic probation; • Provisionally admitted students who do not meet the requirements of their provisional acceptance; • Students who do not meet the stipulations set at the time of being placed on academic probation; and • Students who do not meet the minimum score on the Accuplacer assessments.

Patterns of poor performance not listed above also may lead to academic dismissal. Academic warning and academic probation do not always precede academic dismissal. Academic Honesty Since Bethel University is a Christian academic community, its fundamental purpose is the pursuit of knowledge and the development of growing Christian persons. Essential to the success of this educational mission is a commitment to principles of ethical academic integrity. Each member of the university community is responsible for upholding the highest standards of honesty at all times. Students, as members of this community, are also responsible for adhering to the principles and spirit of academic honesty.

Violation of honesty standards can result in denial of credit (U or F) in a course. Penalties are given at the discretion of the faculty member. Repeat or serious offenses may be subject to additional penalties up to and including dismissal from the university at the discretion of the Vice President and Dean of the College of Adult & Professional Studies and Graduate School. Students charged with a violation have the right to appeal any disciplinary action. Contact a student success advisor for details on the appeal process. Academic Dishonesty Definitions Activities that have the effect or intention of interfering with education, pursuit of knowledge, or fair evaluation of a student’s performance are prohibited. Examples of such activities include, but are not limited to, the following definitions:

• Cheating: using or attempting to use unauthorized assistance, material, or study aids in examinations or other academic work, or preventing or attempting to prevent another from using authorized assistance, material, or study aids. Examples: using a cheat sheet in a quiz or exam, altering a graded exam and resubmitting it for a better grade, etc. • Plagiarism: using the ideas, data, or language of another without specific and proper acknowledgment. Examples: misrepresenting another’s work (paper, lab report, article, or computer work) as one’s own original creation and submitting it for an assignment, using someone else’s ideas without attribution, failing to cite a reference or to use quotation marks where appropriate, etc. • Fabrication: submitting contrived or altered information in any academic exercise. Examples: making up data for an experiment, fudging data, citing nonexistent or irrelevant articles, etc. • Multiple submission: submitting, without prior permission, any work submitted to fulfill another academic requirement. Example: submitting the same paper for two classes, etc. • Misrepresentation of academic records: misrepresenting or tampering with, or attempting to tamper with, any portion of a student’s transcripts or academic record, either before or after coming to Bethel University. Examples: forging a registration form or a change of grade slip, tampering with computer records, etc. • Facilitating academic dishonesty: knowingly helping or attempting to help another violate any provision of this code. Example: working together on a take-home exam or other individual assignment, etc. College of Adult & Professional Studies 45

• Unfair advantage: attempting to gain unauthorized advantage over fellow students in an academic exercise. Examples: gaining or providing unauthorized access to examination materials (either past or present); obstructing or interfering with another student’s efforts in an academic exercise; lying about a need for an extension for an exam or paper; continuing to write even when time is up during an exam; destroying, hiding, removing, or keeping library materials; etc. • Computer crimes: damaging or modifying computer programs without permission. Examples: software piracy, hacking, constructing viruses, knowingly introducing viruses into a system, copying programs and data belonging to others, etc. Concurrent Registration Students who are regularly registered in the College of Adult & Professional Studies may take CAPS open enrollment courses (p. 35), courses from other Bethel University programs, or courses at other regionally accredited institutions for credit. Student success advisors should be consulted before undertaking concurrent enrollment.

The College of Adult & Professional Studies courses are not open to students currently enrolled in the College of Arts & Sciences at Bethel University except where specific agreements exist between the deans of both schools. Extracurricular Activities Students in the College of Adult & Professional Studies or in the Graduate School are ineligible to participate in extracurricular organizations and programs sponsored by the College of Arts & Sciences, including competition sports, music performance groups, study abroad programs, etc. Readmission Procedure Former students who wish to re-enroll must request registration and cannot have a registration hold on their account from the Business Office. Program director permission to readmit is required for any student whose academic status was not "Good Standing" at the time of dismissal or voluntary withdrawal. In addition, students who have been away for one full academic year or more must file an Application for Readmission. Contact a student success advisor for forms and procedures. 46 Individualized Study

Individualized Study Individualized study information and policies are listed under the specific type of individualized study: Academic Internship, Course by Arrangement, Curricular Practical Training, or Directed Study.

Academic Internship An academic internship is preferably an off-campus learning/practicing experience in which the student applies a body of knowledge and skill in a structured, non-classroom setting. It can take place in many settings: governments, social organizations and agencies, churches, or business enterprises. It can make use of almost every knowledge and skill area in Bethel’s curricula. Credit is available through some departments to qualified students in their majors. Inquiries should be made to the program director. Policy 1. An acceptable internship is one that expects the student to: a. Make a deliberate application of one’s academic knowledge and skills. b. Continue to learn as stimulated by the problems and issues encountered. c. Grow in one’s personal maturity and confidence in one’s abilities. d. Develop empathy with and understanding of persons, groups, and settings typically not encountered on campus. 2. The proposed internship must embody significant academic purpose and content, equal in quality to a regular course, yet be of such a nature that it cannot be obtained within the existing course structure. 3. It is conducted under joint supervision of a Bethel faculty member and an onsite supervisor. Both parties agree on the specific objectives and assignments before beginning and jointly evaluate the student’s work during the experience and at the end. There should be a plan for ongoing processing of the experience (log, weekly meetings, etc.). It is expected that the Bethel faculty supervisor will meet at least bi-weekly with the student. 4. The internship position may be part-time or full-time and may be salaried or non-salaried. Routine jobs or work that repeats experience does not qualify for an academic credit internship. The work must provide an opportunity to meet academic/educational objectives. 5. The student must meet the following criteria: a. Declare a major or minor in the department of the internship being proposed. b. Hold junior, senior, or graduate standing. (Individual departments may permit qualified sophomores to undertake exploratory internships under special circumstances.). c. Have a minimum of 10 credit hours completed in the department. d. Have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 and a 3.0 GPA in the major. (Individual departments may require a higher GPA.). e. Meet additional criteria as established by each department. 6. An internship must be two to four credits with the following minimum time required onsite: Internship Hours Two-credit internship 90 hours Three-credit internship 135 hours Four-credit internship 180 hours

7. A maximum of nine credits in internships may be taken. Each separate internship must have goals and objectives different than the prior ones taken for credit. 8. Internships are graded S/U (see: Grading System). 9. This policy identifies minimum college-wide requirements. Departments may choose to supplement this with additional requirements. 10. Students must submit a completed and signed Contract for Academic Internship to the registrar for approval no later than the final day of the preceding semester. The form is available through Blink (Home tab > Forms channel > CAPS Programs > CAPS Students > Internship).

College of Adult & Professional Studies 47

Course by Arrangement A student may sometimes arrange to take a regular course listed in this catalog at a time other than when the course is offered. The design of the course must allow the student to achieve its outcomes and objectives by studying outside the regular class setting independently. Course by Arrangement (CBA) may only be requested when there is no other option open to the student. Policy 1. Students may engage in a CBA under the following regulations: a. The course must be a specific requirement in the student’s major or minor, or a prerequisite to a specific requirement (not an elective course). b. Students must have demonstrated in program coursework that they have the capability and background to study independently. Students must have an overall GPA of 2.5 or higher at the time the request is submitted and at the time the CBA begins as certification of this ability. c. Students must have at least sophomore-level class standing (at least 30 earned credits) at the time the CBA begins. d. Students may take only one CBA per term and no more than a total of eight credits of CBA toward graduation. A faculty supervisor may direct no more than two study projects (directed studies and courses by arrangement) per term and must have taught the course in its regular format. e. Upon fulfilling the CBA, students receive credit on their transcript for the course. A copy of the CBA request will be placed in a student’s permanent file. CBA is graded on an A–F or S/U basis according to the normal grading system of the course in its regular format. 2. Complete the following procedures to obtain approval of a CBA request: a. The Course by Arrangement form is available through Blink (Home tab > Forms channel > CAPS Programs > CAPS Students > Course by Arrangement). b. The student meets with the faculty member who will supervise the study. They review the course syllabus and determine the number and frequency of regular contacts between the student and supervisor. Students doing research off campus will contact their supervisor by phone at regular intervals, at the student’s expense. c. The CBA request is then submitted to the program director for approval, if different from the supervisor of the study, and to academic services. d. The student submits the completed and signed agreement to CAPS during the registration dates for the term in which it is to take place. e. Processing of the agreement by the registrar validates the agreement.

48 Individualized Study

Curricular Practical Training Curricular Practical Training (CPT) is alternate work/study, internship, cooperative education, or any other type of required internship or practicum for international students that is offered by sponsoring employers through cooperative agreements with the school. The Bethel University College of Adult & Professional Studies curriculum includes opportunities for CPT either through required or optional, credit or non-credit, full-time or part-time, paid or unpaid, on-campus or off-campus internships. To qualify as CPT, the internship must be formally approved by the student’s program director (signifying that the CPT is relevant to the student’s program of study) and by the associate dean for International Students and Programs (signifying that the CPT is in regulatory compliance with current legislation). Course number 176 in the appropriate discipline is assigned to non-credit CPT, and the student will be billed a $400 course fee per term of non-credit CPT. Course number 376 in the appropriate discipline is assigned to CPT for credit, and may be taken for 1–4 credits per term, and is repeatable. Policy 1. An acceptable CPT experience is one that expects the student to: a. Make a deliberate application of one’s academic knowledge and skills. b. Continue to learn as stimulated by the problems and issues encountered. c. Grow in one’s personal maturity and confidence in one’s abilities. d. Develop empathy with and understanding of persons, groups, and settings typically not encountered on campus. 2. The proposed CPT must embody significant academic purpose and content, equal in quality to a regular course, yet be of such a nature that it cannot be obtained within the existing course structure. 3. It is conducted under joint supervision of a Bethel faculty member and an onsite supervisor. Both parties agree on the specific objectives and assignments before beginning and jointly evaluate the student’s work during the experience and at the end. There should be a plan for ongoing processing of the experience (log, weekly meetings, etc.). It is expected that the Bethel faculty supervisor will meet at least bi-weekly with the student. 4. The CPT position may be part time or full time and may be salaried or non-salaried. Routine jobs or work that repeats previous experience does not qualify for an academic credit CPT. The work must provide an opportunity to meet academic/educational objectives. 5. The student must meet the following criteria: a. Be currently enrolled in the College of Adult & Professional Studies and have at least one year (three academic terms) of prior enrollment in CAPS. b. Have a Junior or Senior class standing. c. Declare a major in the department of the internship being proposed. d. Have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 and a 2.25 GPA in the major. (Individual departments may require a higher GPA). e. Meet additional criteria as established by each department. 6. CPT for academic credit requires minimum time onsite: One-credit Internship 45 hours Two-credit Internship 90 hours Three-credit Internship 135 hours Four-credit Internship 180 hours Five-credit Internship 255 hours Six-credit Internship 270 hours

7. A maximum of nine credits in internships may be taken. Each separate internship must have goals and objectives different than the prior ones taken for credit. 8. Internships are graded S/U (see: Grading System). 9. This policy identifies minimum college-wide requirements. Departments may choose to supplement this with additional requirements. 10. Students must submit a completed and signed Curricular Practical Training form for approval to the registrar no later than the final day of the preceding semester. The form is available through Blink (Home tab > Forms channel > CAPS Programs > CAPS Student > Curricular Practical Training form).

College of Adult & Professional Studies 49

Directed Study Depending on the major, a student may be required to complete a directed study experience or may have the option of completing an elective directed study experience in his/her major under the guidance of a faculty member. The directed study may consist of independent reading and/or research, or travel with related study. Students shall design such an experience in cooperation with academic services and the supervising faculty member. A directed study will receive course number 470 in the appropriate discipline. Policy 1. Students may engage in an elective directed study under the following regulations: a. The proposed study must embody significant academic purpose and content, equal in quality to a regular course, yet be of such a nature that it cannot be obtained within an existing course. The amount and distribution of work should be similar to that of a regularly offered course of comparable credit. b. Students must have demonstrated in program coursework that they have the capability and background to study independently. Students must have an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher as certification of this ability. c. Students may take only one directed study per term and no more than a total of two directed studies toward graduation. A faculty supervisor may direct no more than two directed studies per term. d. Upon fulfilling the agreement, students receive credit on their transcript for the course as titled. A copy of the agreement will be placed in a student’s permanent file. Directed study is graded on an A–F basis, not S/U. 2. Complete the following procedures to obtain approval of a directed study proposal: a. The Directed Study Agreement form is available through Blink (Home tab > Forms channel > CAPS Programs > CAPS Students > Directed Study-PDF). b. The student meets with the faculty member who will supervise the study. They jointly prepare the agreement form, listing the objectives of the study, its relationship to the student’s overall program, the specific content and procedures of the study, the definition of student and faculty roles, the product or response to be made by the student on which his or her learning will be evaluated, and the number and frequency of regular contacts between the student and supervisor. Students doing research off campus will contact their supervisor by phone at regular intervals, at the student’s expense. c. The Directed Study Agreement is then submitted to the program director for approval, if different from the supervisor of the study, and to academic services. d. The student submits the completed and signed agreement to CAPS during the registration dates for the term in which it is to take place. e. Processing of the agreement by the registrar validates the agreement. 50 Academic Appeals

Academic Appeals Appeals must be filed according to the CAPS/GS appeals process. Appeals of academic policies (e.g. academic progress, application of academic policies, dismissal, graduation, status in programs) are made to the CAPS/GS Appeals Committee. If the circumstances in question relate to course content or procedures (e.g. academic dishonesty, grading, syllabus) the following step is required prior to initiating an appeal:

Within three weeks following the decision or incident in question, the student will seek to resolve the matter first with the course instructor, or with the party directly responsible for the decision, and then with the program director.

If a student believes he or she is being treated unfairly, or not in accordance with announced policies, or that extenuating circumstances beyond their control that are not common experiences to CAPS students or GS students warrant receiving an exception, the student may initiate an appeal. Any appeal must be filed no later than 60 days after the student has reasonable notice of the circumstances (e.g., the faculty or administrative action affecting the student) that gives rise to the issues presented in the appeal. Initial filing of the appeal shall be submitted to the Student Success Advisor who shall transmit it to the Appeals Committee. The Academic Appeal form is available through Blink (Home tab > Forms channel > CAPS Programs menu > CAPS Student submenu > Academic Appeal - Online) Intellectual Property Rights In addition to the responsibilities students have to abide by standards of academic integrity, students are also entitled to protection of their intellectual property rights.

• Work submitted in Bethel University courses is to be used solely for educational purposes within the context of the course in which the student is enrolled. • Any other use of student work must credit the student as the author of the work and must be authorized by the student. (If a student seeks to publish research involving human subjects, s/he must have secured the appropriate review/approval from Bethel’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to collection and analysis of data.) • Students have the right and responsibility to redact any sensitive, personally identifiable information (e.g., names of businesses cited in case studies, demographic information related to research subjects, etc.) prior to releasing their work for applications outside of the classroom. • Although students may choose to co-author with a faculty member, students own their research and any other materials they design independently. • Students are encouraged to copyright written materials when releasing them outside of the classroom. Students who complete theses, dissertations, and capstone projects acknowledge, by completing the project, that they are aware that a copy of the work may be retained by the University Library. Freedom of Inquiry All students have the right to free inquiry and scholarly investigation. Students are encouraged to discuss all topics freely and to exchange ideas in a mutually respectful manner. They are also free to publish any findings or recommendations, either individually or in association with others, provided they make no claim to represent the university without due authorization, and they have secured the appropriate IRB approvals if necessary. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, is a federal law enacted to establish procedures for disclosing information contained in student records and to protect the privacy of these records. The act applies to currently enrolled students beginning at the point of deposit (“fee paid”) and former students, but does not apply to individuals who have applied for admission but never attended Bethel University. Applicants for admission who are denied enrollment or who are accepted but do not make a deposit do not have a right to review their records. Information obtained on a former student subsequent to graduation or termination of enrollment is not covered under the Act (e.g., data accumulated on alumni). All rights under the Act cease when a person dies—the university will decide on an individual basis what records of deceased students can be released and to whom they will be released.

Bethel University will notify students annually of their rights under the act by publishing such information in the university catalog. A complete policy is included in the College of Adult & Professional Studies/Graduate School Student Handbook at Bethel University or from the Office of the Registrar.

Currently enrolled and former students have a right to inspect their educational records upon written request. Students must request permission in writing to inspect their records and must present that request to the appropriate office as noted in item three of this policy. The records will be made available to the student for inspection not more than 45 days following the request. A university employee will be present when students inspect their records.

General Studies General Studies The General Studies curriculum comprises lower-division general education courses required of students intending to earn an Associate of Arts (A.A.)., Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree through the College of Adult & Professional Studies. Certain general education courses are also required for the Associate of Science (A.S.) degree. Students will also be given the opportunity to complete the number of credits required for the A.A. degree (60 credits) by taking elective courses or by earning credits through the other elective credit options.

The Core Distinctives curriculum comprises three upper-division courses required of students intending to earn a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree through the College of Adult & Professional Studies. Two of the Core Distinctive courses are also required for the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. Core Distinctive courses must be taken in residence.

The Foundations of Academic Readiness (FAR) curriculum comprises preparatory non-degree-applicable courses for students whose Accuplacer assessment scores show that additional preparation is needed in order to increase the probability of success in CAPS programs. Students may also voluntarily enroll in FAR courses to refresh academic skills.

Accuplacer Assessments Accuplacer assessments are required for all new students provisionally admitted into the General Studies program at transfer levels 1, 2, or 3 (with fewer than 45 credits). Accuplacer assessments are taken during SOCS110.

• Satisfactory scores on all three assessments will allow registration for further college-level courses in the General Studies program. • If scores indicate a need for pre-college coursework in order to be successful in college-level classes, students will be required to complete all or some of the FAR courses. Satisfactory grades in required FAR courses will allow registration for further college-level courses. • If scores and conversations with faculty and your student success advisor indicate attempting Bethel’s pre-college courses would not be successful, you will not be registered for further courses at Bethel. The first time this occurs, you will be withdrawn from SOCS110 and allowed a full refund, a grade of W for SOCS110 will be shown on your transcript, and you will be subject to the restrictions of academic dismissal which require a minimum wait of one full academic term before applying for readmission. General Education The General Studies curriculum comprises 45 credits of lower-division general education courses required of students intending to earn an Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree through the College of Adult & Professional Studies.

The General Studies Program design meets the needs of busy adults. The level of preparedness of some adult students will make it difficult for them to succeed. Life experiences have prepared them with knowledge and wisdom, but not with a comfort level with reading or writing that would prepare them for writing-intensive courses. Limited math skills may leave students deeply anxious about our math courses. Yet, with some support, these students can succeed. We have designed the FAR curriculum to support these students in raising their core skills to the point where they can confidently achieve course outcomes and earn college credits. Students can succeed by improving in these areas:

• Core reading skills to prepare students in mastering challenging academic texts. • Core writing skills to prepare students for the challenge of college composition courses. • Core math skills to prepare students for the challenge of a college math course.

The FAR curriculum consists of 9 credits of foundational courses that do not apply to degree, certificate, or license requirements.

Organizational Leadership B.A. in Organizational Leadership The goal of the organizational leadership program is to develop authentic leaders and followers for a changing world through a Christian worldview. The major is an interdisciplinary program designed to develop leaders to move beyond efficiency to effectiveness. It is acknowledging the reality that leadership is about more than a title. Today’s leader must:

• Provide direction with clarity and confidence. • Establish alignment and relationships within teams and stakeholders, rather than function as a solo leader. • Continually develop personal leadership competencies and capacities. • Anticipate and incorporate personal change and value relationships with others.

Through academic study and personal reflection, students will analyze and integrate personal, organizational, and global realities into a holistic view of leadership and learn to lead collaboratively to accomplish desired outcomes and goals.

Upon completion of the organizational leadership program, students will:

• Develop personal competencies and capacities as leaders and followers to better work in partnership with others to achieve shared goals. • Discover personal leadership and followership strengths and styles. • Intentionally choose when to lead and when to follow. • Break the stereotypes and myths associated with leadership and followership. • Assess and engage the spheres of influence in which they live and work. • Ascertain immediate application in leadership opportunities for course information, assessments, simulations, and case studies. • Expand and explore the personal, organizational, and global aspects that create intersection between the academic endeavor and real-world application. • Identify their leadership voice. • Recognize the leadership and followership styles of others.

Students who complete the major in Organizational Leadership have the option to include a concentration in Christian Ministries, Human Resource Management, or Human Services.
